Not a day goes by that I don't think of my Grandmother. She was my superwoman. Not only did the woman have 12 kids, but she also was the sweetest person I had ever known. Her smile, always made me smile too.
We always would listen to oldies, and watch old TV shows together. My love for all types of genres when it comes to music, is because of my Grandma, and Mom always listening to music in the house. That, and my Grandma even had music artist posters up of her favorites.
I was never bored listening to i oldies music. The lyrics, and catchy melodies. I experienced at a young age that I liked different songs depending on different moods. That transferred into adult hood too. To this day I can't walk past a juke box without checking to see what's inside.
When a person says, "Oh I only listen to so-and-so." I just want to roll my eyes, because I honestly believe that without these oldie artists, our concept of music today would not be the same. I consider them our roots. With todays technology it is so easy to download, and listen to our favorite oldies on virtual jukeboxes.
I love oldies, blue grass, country, rock, rockabilly, punk, metal, blues, hip hop, funk and rap. I'd like to thank my Grand mom for that, and all the Road trips between Crownsville Maryland, over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and to Grasonville, Maryland. That took hours, but with good music, and company, it went way too fast.
